Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constitutional protections, including the Equal Protection Clause, only apply to actions taken by the government or those acting on behalf of the government, not privately owned apartment complexes. Therefore, even if Adam could prove an equal protection violation, he would have no constitutional recourse against the apartment complex.
